\u201cTHE LORD IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THAT.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amaziah said to the man of God, \u201cBut what about the hundred talents I paid to the army of Israel?\u201d<\/em>
The man of God answered, \u201cTHE LORD IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THAT.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

THE LORD IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THAT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are seasons in life when listening to the voice of God matters more than the loss you may suffer\u2014because obedience is what brings healing to your soul.<\/p>\n

There was a king of Judah named Amaziah. One day, he found himself facing war against his enemies, the Edomites. He organized his own army in preparation for battle, but he realized that his forces were not enough. So he turned to his brothers from Israel and hired their soldiers for a very large sum of money.<\/p>\n

In total, he hired about one hundred thousand (100,000) soldiers.<\/p>\n

However, as he was about to go to war, a prophet of God came to him and said, \u201cDo not take these soldiers you hired with you, because I am not with them. Go to battle with your own army alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

This was extremely difficult for Amaziah. His strength would be reduced, and on top of that, he had already paid a great amount of money for those soldiers. He had made a serious financial investment, and the money could not be recovered.<\/p>\n

But because Amaziah feared God, he obeyed the voice of the Lord. He was willing to accept the loss. He went into battle with a weaker army, and the Lord helped him\u2014granting him a great and overwhelming victory.<\/p>\n

2 Chronicles 25:6\u20139<\/strong>
\u201cHe also hired a hundred thousand mighty warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver. But a man of God came to him and said, \u2018O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the Lord is not with Israel\u2014with all the sons of Ephraim. But if you go, be strong in battle; God will overthrow you before the enemy, for GOD HAS POWER BOTH TO HELP AND TO OVERTHROW.\u2019
Amaziah said to the man of God, \u2018But what about the hundred talents I paid to the army of Israel?\u2019
The man of God replied, \u2018THE LORD IS ABLE TO GIVE YOU MUCH MORE THAN THAT.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How often do people fail to follow Jesus simply because they are afraid of the losses they might face if they make that decision?<\/p>\n

I once spoke with a man who said he truly loved God, yet he owned several bars\u2014not just one\u2014and claimed that was how he earned his living. I told him he needed to leave that business, because God has the power to give him something better if he obeys Christ. But it was too hard for him to accept, and he chose to continue in that business.<\/p>\n

Another person we witnessed to was ready to be saved, but said she had no job and survived by selling her body to pay rent and utility bills. She said openly, \u201cIf I give my life to Christ, I know I will have to stop this work. Then I will have no income at all. How will I survive in the city?\u201d<\/p>\n

Brother, sister\u2014if you are among those who find it hard to abandon the works of the devil because you have invested a lot of money in them, or because you fear becoming poor, or because you think another job will pay less\u2014remember this truth:
\u201cGod has power to help and to overthrow,\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cHe is able to give you much more than that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

He can give you double what you had before. And even if He does not, He can give you a life of peace and contentment far greater than where you were before. Jesus Himself said, \u201cWhat does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?\u201d<\/em> Amaziah accepted temporary loss because he fully trusted that God would give him more than everything he had lost.<\/p>\n

It is better to give your life to Jesus now, while there is still time. Many people today are trapped\u2014every investment they have is tied up in gambling, drugs, alcohol and cigarette businesses, or in immoral and worldly lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Walk away from these things and trust the God who is calling you. You will be safe, and He will help you sustain and direct your life.<\/p>\n

May the Lord bless you.<\/p>\n
